(URGENT) Can someone help me find x, I’ve gotten it wrong twice.

Answer:

  x = 24.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sides of the triangle are the hypotenuse (x) and a side of length 20 that is adjacent to the 34° angle and opposite the 56° angle.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of relationships between the <em>hypotenuse</em> and <em>adjacent</em> or <em>opposite</em> sides:

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

If we want to use the "adjacent" side, we would choose ...

  cos(34°) = 20/x

  x = 20/cos(34°) ≈ 20/0.83 ≈ 24.10 . . . . . rounding according to instructions

__

If we want to use the "opposite" side, we would choose ...

  sin(56°) = 20/x

  x = 20/sin(56°) ≈ 20/0.83 ≈ 24.10 . . . . . rounding according to instructions

_____

<em>Comment on rounding</em>

If you round correctly (only at the last step), the proper answer is 24.12.

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is x2 + bx + c

The coefficients are

● a = 1

● b

● c is the constant

The difference of the roots is | b - 2c |

Let s and p be the roots of the polynomial

● s - p = | b - 2c | (1)

● s + p = -b/a => s + p = -b (2)

(1) + (2)

● s - p + s + p = |b-2c| - b

● 2s = | b - 2c | - b

● 2s = b - 2c - b or 2s = 2c - b - b

● 2s = - 2c or 2s = 2c - 2b

● s = - c or s = c - b

We want to express b in term of c. So we will be intetsted in the 2nd equation

● s = c - b

● s - c = - b

● b = c - s

Mister Parts recorded the number of absent students at Brighton Middle School last week what was the mean number of absent stude
serg [7]

A. 8.8 students per day on average were absent.

1) If the absence recorded was:

On Monday: 11

On Tuesday: 9

On Wed: 6

On Thu: 9

On Fri: 9

2) Since the number of weekdays were 5 we can calculate the mean of absent students by adding all those absences and dividing by 5

So, 11+9+6+9+9+9 =44

Dividing by 5

So the mean or the average of the absence was 8.8

Answer :

a + 1/4b

6/a + b/4

ab- 17

b/2 + 4

b + 1/a

5a - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

5a - 6 = 9

b/2 + 4 = 8

ab - 17 = 7

6/a + b/4 = 4

b + 1/a = 8.5

a + 1/4b = 3.03125

Jill works 2.5 hours and earns $37.5. How many hours does she have to work to receive $240?​
SIZIF [17.4K]
16 Hours because we can calculate the compensation per hour by doing 37,5/2,5=15 and then doing 240/15=16 to find how many hours does it take to get 240$
